2021 Shipping Movements

[Oxstock]

She’s 100% docking where that invisible ship suppose to be

 

[Levram_Noam]

Hey again mr m just got my vin im from israel can u tell what ship it could be

 

[Electron Mike]

DURBAN HIGHWAY was the only other ship docked about nine hours ago, but she is going to Yantai China.​

 

[Mr Miserable]

Thanks everybody for your magnificent efforts this morning.
TAMERLANE is currently docking in the berth in question. I'm not sure but did we see AN JI 22 depart earlier without tug assistance? If so, whatever was parked behind her could have done the same but the good news is that it won't have been a large carrier such as those used on the runs to Europe.
The two new ships, TAMERLANE and ARTEMIS LEADER, are of no interest to us - they should both depart to S Korea.
Hopefully I'll be back on the job this evening.

PS Sending this from an uncomfortably crowded train...

likely not without an anticipated collection date

Durban departed from the same dock where Artemis currently resides.

AN JI 22 departed without tugs. Certainly none showing anyway

Yeh I agree

 

[Oxstock]

Mr M, is that docking area the only one of interest to us?

I'm not sure if this applies to the AN Ji vessel, but I know there are ships that have the ability to generate thrust sideways which, allows them to dock and depart without assistance.

There is one other we know of, but its only been used once or twice before - look for this vessel on Marine Traffic:

DA FENG GANG HE SHUN HAO​

GigaFactory 3 is not far from there to the North East (look for a large patch of graded land as the "sat" map is quite old now, or correlate with Google Maps)

 

[_SunShine]

This ship was already twice at this pier and everytime it was leaving direction Dalian .... so not of interest I guess.

Yeah it was just a quick way of pointing Oxstock to the pier/berth, as its there currently...

BTW whilst we await the return of Mr M and his enhanced tracking capabilities, here's the last Wu Wa YT drone footage from the weekend:

Observations:

• Busier than the weekend of the 16/17 Oct and much busier than the 9/10 which is to be expected as they ramp up from Q3 end and the national holiday
• The holding lot at GF3 appears to hold about 2,000 cars, so only about 1+ days worth of production if the figures are to be believed (1,300-1,800 per day) - this means I think that Tesla are holding cars at the Northern Shanghai pier before getting on ships and I did a rough estimate that the areas there can hold about 10,000 vehicles (unlikely though that Tesla use all the lots)
• The rows just before the transporters appear to have about a 30/70% Model Y to Model 3 respectively, which also tallies with other stories about production there, but will likely change, as the Model Y is expected to sell much more than the Model 3
• Unlike the weekend of 16/17 I could not see any RHD cars, only LHD - also Tesla are using a white steering wheel cover/protector which makes spotting this easier (as well as the drivers getting in and out of course)

Its going to be very interesting to see how Tesla react to the Hertz order of 100,000 cars and whether that has a visible effect in the coming months.

Not without an anticipated delivery date.

I just called the dealership and they confirmed the VIN I got is expected to be delivered the first week of December in Trondheim, Norway.

This insight is fecking insane

Assume all the cars are white to begin with

Need to hire this dude with the drone to do some RoRo search missions.

Is it an option for you to post only one larger message instead of a continuous stream of little sentences?

 

[Washout]

Short answer not really - long answer:

The paint is applied normally as follows:
Adherance enhancer coat if aluminium
Corrosion protection coats
Primer (s) (normally grey or white)
- Sometimes one or more of the above maybe combined
Base coat(s) i.e. colour coats, which maybe layered if effects are desired (e.g. candy apple red)
Clear coat(s) these may, but don't normally have tints in them

There maybe other coats in between some of the above dependant on material being sprayed and manufacturer.

Interesting fact - paint adds a surprising amount of weight to a car and if you're serious about race prepping a road vehicle, you can have the bodywork dipped to remove it all. The "thin paint" complaints on Teslas may actually be a design feature to lose some weight...

Edit: I forgot to add to the video post above that some of the cars appear to have a paint protection film applied to their upper surfaces, which I think is new for GF3 and certainly what a lot of other manufacturers do. I guess scratch removal costs have become a factor at handover time...
